Enjoyed the worldbuilding and the tone of the writing greatly. A decent story, but the main draw was the vibrant (and amusing) universe.

Bishops move diagonally. That's why they often turn up where the kings don't expect them to be.

Small Gods takes a more pointed approach to get a message across than the other Discworld novels I’ve read. Pratchett tackles themes of religion vs individual belief and faith while following a diverse cast. Characters will use religion for their own personal gain and power while completely forfeiting the beliefs of the religion itself. Even going so far as to gain a massive political advantage and “turning others into copies of themselves”

A timeless read that I really enjoyed and I think those with or without faith will find sustenance in reading it
